Dude the first person this reminded me of is a dude I used tow work with who looks like a 5th generation VT farmer complete with flannel, tweed, livestock, and a sugaring/biochar/tree farm & who bleeds actual dirt.

Turns out he's actually from Connecticut. Been here less than 5 years and bought the farm w family money.

Electric with solar via heat pump and heavily supplemented by wood stove in the living room. Electric is approximately $200/mo. in the winter for a 2k sq/ft home set to about 66* downstairs, 62* upstairs when occupied. Wood usage is about 2 cords/year for "free" harvested and hand split off the property.
